One of the main reasons I am so drawn to Hitchcock is that he planned his shots way in advance on story-boards, which he designed like classic paintings (he was an art connoisseur). Its why he found shooting on set boring – because he had already composed the film in his head. – Camille Paglia
I certainly derived my skills as a prose writer from my scrutiny of poetry and of the individual word. But schools dont do things like that anymore – tracking words down to their roots. – Camille Paglia
